GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

    TWO Postdoctoral Fellowships in Community Data (2022-24)
    University of Toronto, Critical Digital Humanities Initiative (CDHI)
    Deadline: March 1, 2022

    Created in collaboration with the iSchool, UTSC, and the Council on Library & Information Resources (CLIR), the CDHI Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Community Data will support two interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellows for two academic years, 2022-24. One fellow will be affiliated with the University of Toronto Faculty of Information (iSchool). One fellow will be affiliated with University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC). We hope you will help us spread the word about this exciting new opportunity among your networks. In the context of this fellowship program, we define community data broadly to include projects that enact equitable, future-focused strategies of preserving data related to the histories of people of colour, Indigenous peoples, and queer, disabled, or other communities whose work, experiences, and perspectives have been insufficiently recognized or inequitably attended to in historical records.

    The fellowships are full-time, two-year positions. Fellows will receive a salary of $70,000/year (CAN), which includes teaching one undergraduate half course (0.5 FCE) for the iSchool or UTSC in each of the two years. Applications are open now and close on 01 March 2022. 

    For a complete job description of each position, including fellowship responsibilities and expectations, mentorship and professional development opportunities, eligibility, and application instructions, please visit:

    We are thrilled to continue building the network of critical and creative digital humanities research at U of T. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the CDHI Managing Director, Dr. Danielle Taschereau Mamers (d.taschereau@utoronto.ca), with any enquiries.
